Veterans Without Family Riverside, CA - 20 AUG 14
« on: August 17, 2014, 08:19:35 PM »
On Wednesday 20 Aug 2014, the PGR will join with the California National Guard Honor Team in rendering honors to those American Heroes brought to Riverside National Cemetery during this past week without receiving their honors.
 
There will be no veterans transported from Los Angeles County this week.

May the souls of these vets rest in peace beneath the green carpet of grass in a Nation they helped to keep free.

They are not alone, we are their family.

“If we cannot do him honor while he's here to hear the praise,
Then at least let's give him homage at the ending of his days,
Perhaps just a simple headline in a paper that would say,
Our Country is in mourning, for a soldier died today.”

NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring these Military Veterans
